Before Marilyn Manson makes his appearance at Sleep Train Amphitheatre on Wednesday, August 17, his backstage rider specifies that “All rooms shall have private flush toilets (Porta Johns are specifically not acceptable).” In addition, “Promoter shall provide one oxygen tank with regulator and mask for Artist’s sole use. It is imperative this can be self-administered.”

In order to avoid being late to the stage, or starting the show with runny makeup, the dressing rooms for both Manson and his band each require “one clock and one efficient AC unit.” The AC mandate is repeated with Manson’s dressing-room requirements, which concludes, “Please make sure that air conditioning works. This is really important!”

Among the designated dressing-room items are ten Gatorades (“grape, berry, or watermelon”), two packs of Dentyne Ice gum (“peppermint and spearmint”), French onion dip (“fresh from deli, if possible”), a half-gallon of two percent milk, and two bags of Haribo gummy bears.

To ensure patrons and performers are in safe hands, “None of the security personnel shall possess any handcuffs, mace, firearms, clubs, knives, or dangerous weapons...under no circumstances is a flashlight to be used as a weapon.” Also, “If local ordinances permit, all patrons shall be subject to a full body search.” The list of “nonpermitted items” includes things that many Manson fans might consider mandatory, such as “spiked bracelets” and “chains (of any kind).”

When Snoop Dogg performs at Sleep Train on August 27, he “shall, at his discretion, play a minimum of 45 minutes and a maximum of 90 minutes per show.” That maximum appears flexible, as “Snoop Dogg, however, at his option, may exceed the specified performance time without interference.” What’s more, “Snoop Dogg may take a scheduled or unscheduled intermission.”

Backstage, “All dressing rooms should have only incandescent lighting. Fluorescent lighting is not acceptable as the only light source.” Interestingly, “Candles and incense should be supplied and used at the Artist’s discretion in all dressing rooms.”

Snoop’s rider concludes with a few “miscellaneous” notes: “Fried foods are a tour staple”; “Feel free to suggest aftershow ideas (but do not make arrangements unless requested)”; “This tour party is very clean. Trashy, dirty rooms are not acceptable.”
